Here's the answer
Refer the attachment for the figure
Theorem :
The bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the side opposite to the angle in the ratio of the remaining sides.
Given:
In ∆ ABC , side AD bisects Angle BAC such that B - D - C.
Construction :
Draw seg DE perpendicular to side AB and seg DN perpendicular to side AC.
Proof :
Point D lies on the bisector of Angle BAC
By angle bisector Theorem, DE = DF ... (1)
Now,
Ratio of areas of the two triangles is equal to the ratio of the products of their bases and corresponding heights.
From 1,
Also,∆ADB and ∆ADC have common vertex A
and their bases BD and DC lie on the same line BC. So their heights are equal.
Area of triangles with equal heights are proportional to their corresponding bases.
From 2 and 3 ,
We get
